Disappearance (2002 TV Movie)
5/10
Pod people?
10 September 2023
Warning: Spoilers
The ending to this movie is frustratingly never explained but it appeared that the people who became trapped in the ghost town of Weaver were killed and their bodies taken over by otherworldly beings who turned them into pods of themselves. Who knows?! But that's just my guess.

The woman on the old video tape that the girl later saw alive and working in the diner was apparently a pod after she was killed and her body taken over by whatever demonic force or alien being that took over it.

I gather that the same thing happened to the whole family at the end of the film, but there's never a solid explanation if that's what it is or even why any of this was happening. I don't mind open endings, but this was a whole open movie where absolutely nothing is ever explained.

I would've rated this higher had at least the ending been explained but I guess they wanted to leave that up to the viewer which is fine...but at least let the audience know what the heck is going on during the first 85 minutes too. I'm still giving it a 5 rating because it held my interest throughout the film even though I had no idea what the heck was going on. It seemed like they had a sequel planned that never came about.
